“Interesting tour in the center of Osaka”
Actually we didn't do the tour with Andy as he was seek and he proposed us to go with another guide, Taka. As it was very late in the evening (around 10 pm) before the tour day when Andy wrote me he got a cold which is fully understandable. He recommended us Taka and arranged the meeting. Coming to the tour Taka did a good job showing us the landmarks in the centre of Osaka and also other places according to our interests. We really appreciated his understanding of our interests and the way he made a flexible tour. I rate this tour (only) good because I expected more from the tour and from GoWithGuide in terms of value of the tour (price/ quality). Even now, I'm not sure what I'm actually reviewing : the tour with Taka or the tour with Andy.
“This tour made us realize we HAVE to come back to Osaka. ”
There are not enough words or time to express the awesome time we had enjoying all the delights Osaka has to offer. Thanks for coming through Andy. You made it happen better than expected.
“Osaka magic, an unforgettable experience!”
A stellar experience in deep Osaka! Thanks for making it happen. A definite highlight of our adventures through Japan.
